Its story
Kappa Coronae Borealis is an orange subgiant some 99 light-years away with a confirmed planet: Kappa Coronae Borealis b, a gas giant of twice Jupiter's mass discovered in 2007 that takes 3.4 years to complete an orbit. In 2013 it also became the first subgiant ever imaged with a resolved circumstellar dust belt —that belt rings Kappa itself.
